my "no test" employee went from "I need a medical exemption from testing" to "I need a religious exemption from testing in no time flat.

Posted by amanda jeans (aka amanda) Feb 7 '22, 08:01

the head of our covid response center told her that since her original vaccination exemption was religious, not medical, she has no path forward for medical exemption from testing.

boom, religious exemption from testing.

Responses:

OK, employee, what religion would that be exactly? No Googling. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 7, 08:10
Wait I just realized you said testing. Are their religious exemptions from TESTING? - sycor Feb 7, 08:08 4
- (The JWs have said their members should get vaccinated, fwiw) -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:09 3
  - Hadn't heard that. Good for them! -- nm - sycor Feb 7, 08:12
  - Even the Christian Scientists do not oppose it -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 7, 08:12 1
    - I mean, "Scientists" is right there in their name! -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 08:15
My wife has to deal with these religious exemptions for vaccination and testing. - Inigo Feb 7, 08:07 14
- we have no religious accommodation for testing here. -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 7, 08:09 13
  - So... she tests or she's fired? -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 08:41 8
    - I know I am trying to apply logic to where there is none but wouldn't she WANT to test? I mean not getting the vaccine for whatever dumb reason people - St. Epiphany Feb 7, 08:45 7
      - Som brains do not want to be tickled, pip. -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 08:47 2

        I heard they can get stuck. No way!!! -- nm - employee Feb 7, 08:59
      - She wants the freedom to *choose* to be tested. Her RIGHTS!! -- nm - Meg Feb 7, 08:46 3
        
        she's like "I work remotely in NJ so it doen't matter to the university if I'm sick." -- nm* - amanda jeans Feb 7, 08:58 2
        
        TBF, if someone's working from home, I can see how masks and vaccine mandates may be moot. Testing, though..? - Mop Feb 7, 09:38
        
        of course it is NJ -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 09:08
  - My employer has one but they have no time for nonsense. The policy was set back when they started requiring flu shots and it is very specific. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 7, 08:22 2
    - I've never heard of flu testing. our religious accommodation for vax is basically "if you apply, you're accommodated" but for testing, we have none. - amanda jeans Feb 7, 08:24 1
      - Misread on my part. I don't think we have an exemption from testing if you're one of the few with an vaccine exemption. - CinnaBaron Feb 7, 08:33
  - 👍 🙏 -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 08:10
Did Jesus say no sticking things up your nose? -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:06 8
- "coerce me into collecting my DNA weekly without my consent" and "experimentation on living creatures without consent." - amanda jeans Feb 7, 08:15 5
  - And two swings and a miss on the complaints themselves. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:16
  - if there is an ancient religion that had DNA guidelines, sign me up! - Andie Feb 7, 08:16 3
    - 2 shall be the cnumber of helices thou shalt count and the number of the counting shall be 2. - CinnaBaron Feb 7, 08:20 1

  - In the old versions of the Bible, nose pickers got it the worst—Charlemagne had that stuff edited out (as he was a notorious nose picker) -- nm - Flavorize Feb 7, 08:18
Excellent. Be sure to find out if she has religious exemptions from basically ALL medications because they all have the same issue -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 08:04
j. fried chicken -- nm - prayformojo Feb 7, 08:03
This is why the whole exemption thing is just dumb. -- nm - sycor Feb 7, 08:03 1
- agreed. -- nm - St. Epiphany Feb 7, 08:04
People are lame -- nm - budice Feb 7, 08:03
